A method contains all information necessary for data acquisi-
tion, integration, peak evaluation and quantification. It can
be considered as the chromatogram template, i.e. chromatogram
without raw data. Methods are stored as method files (
*.mtw ) in
the Methods directory.
Each system is linked to a method. This method is called proc-
essing method and is opened automatically at the start of a new
determination.

methods:
IC NET / File / Open / Method
